Following a lengthy TMO referral with the clock beyond 80 minutes, Wacokecoke was awarded the score after replays showed he managed to get the ball to ground inside the right corner post.
Earlier, Sam Stuart had seen his seventh-minute score cancelled out by home flanker Tornike Jalaghonia.
Brett Connon made a difference with the boot, kicking both conversions and a penalty.
In Pool C, Brive beat Pau 33-25.

I think this is backwards thinking. I personally back more than 23 players to put in a worthy shift in an AB jersey. Expecting the same team to play every game is unnecessary. It obviously takes a toll. Other option is to take a risk and promote talent, give them a shot, coach them. Name a position where NZ rugby doesn't have a single player to step in against say Wales?, No disrespect intended.
Go to commentsIn relay races the Anchor Leg is the last leg, usually assigned to the fastest runner on the team. If only a rugby team with that philosophy had tried it in a World Cup and demonstrated its effectiveness by winning the competition. That would settle this discussion once and for all. You could call it something like The Bomb Squad.
